IDW Publishing is to collect the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures series that ran in 1988 in Omnibus form, something TMNT fans have been asking for for a long time. The first volume, 760 pages long, will be published by IDW in March 2025, collecting the first seventeen issues of the seventy-two-issue run, with more volumes to follow. Maybe four in total? Possibly five if you include the specials and annuals.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was published by Archie Comics until 1995, aimed at a younger audience than the other TMNT comics at the time, closer to the cartoon. The series initially adapted episodes of the show, but by issue #5, series creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird handed the comic over to Mirage artists Ryan Brown and Stephen Murphy. The series moved to original storylines, often incorporating social and environmentalist themes and introduced several new characters.
